The views expressed by the author are to be seriously considered by the current government under the leadership of Dr. Manmohan Singh. The government came into the power on promising the privileges to Dalits and other minorities. These assurances always proved that they are the words on water or sand. Because of the huge vote bank of Dalits, minorities and OBCs. But the other being the leader of the SC/ST commission should think and guide his fellow community not to trap under these gimmicks. The pitiest thing is that the persons who elected as MPs and ministers on the grounds of these caste-based selection are not striving for the rights of Dalits. Simply they keep trying to save their positions during the entire tenure of their power and earning crores of assets. They should be punished severely. So, the permanent solution never come simply by implementing the quotas or reservations. If it is the case, The implementation of reservations for the past 3 or 4 decades could reap the results. The country is now under the trap of vote-bank/caste-based politics, corruption, bribery,etc., keeping every person of every community either upper caste or lower castes restless and frustrat

Reservations are legislative (not judicial or society) response to historical social evils to certain sections of the society. Government should scrap reservations when 85% of marriages in India are inter-caste or inter-religious.
